This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of infusion device into thoracic aorta, percutaneous endoscopic approach. This surgical intervention or procedure is listed in the World Health Organization's International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems or ICD-10 as code 02HW43Z

UNSPSC 85491964 Insertion of infusion device into thoracic aorta, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows no recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its medical-procedure title. The six recent opportunities posted under this code span independent medical evaluation services, surgical benefits administration, occupational health surveillance, juvenile detention healthcare, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary clinical staffing — none of which involve thoracic aortic procedures or infusion-device insertion. The code appears to be a miscategorization artifact in state and local procurement systems; issuing bodies have tagged healthcare administration, staffing, and benefits management work to a procedure-specific UNSPSC number that does not match the services actually being solicited.

The geographic and issuing-body spread across the recent records reflects general healthcare procurement rather than the code's nominal scope. Buyers include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona), the City of Long Beach (California), the Washington State Department of Transportation (Washington), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas), Collier County (Florida), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (California). Representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix's RFP for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026 (maximum contract value $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Ferries' RFP for occupational medical surveillance due October 9, 2026, and the County of Santa Clara's RFQ to establish a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing due October 7, 2026. No procurement activity under this code involves thoracic aortic intervention or device placement.
